MFT Sketch #582

Welcome to another sketch challenge from My Favorite Things. For this week's sketch, I've used the Main Squeeze stamps and dies along with the Distressed Patterns splatter stamp. I really like how this turned out.

Also made a coordinating envelope since I had a few pieces that didn't fit on the card front. 

Isn't the yellow pretty? I'm not usually a fan of yellow, but since they are lemons.... LOL.

Only needed foam tape on the top most piece as there is plenty of dimension and texture from the leaves stuck into the chicken wire die cut. 

This is what started it. :)

This happened....

Saturday my sister and I visited our fave tattoo artist. I had drawn my design after pouring over tons of images on the internet and combined the parts I wanted into one image. Ben did a great job and I love the result. It's on my outer right forearm. 

I may do a little altering to the small image on the right and possibly add that sometime later. We'll see. 

This was the first and second, inside left wrist/forearm.

Freshness

Can't get any fresher than right off the tree in the backyard! Our lovely Airbnb hosts have shared with us their lemon crop several times since we got here in December. 

I have totally been enjoying lemon slices in my water...

in my tea when I was sick...

and now in these Luscious Lemon Bars my mom used to make. So good. (see the Recipes tab for the recipe.)

Enjoy your weekend, and maybe do some baking while you pray for peace. God be with the people of the Ukraine.
